Epic Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Part II
Just when I thought I had found them all… Remember my first grilled cheese sandwich roundup? This is America’s very favorite sandwich, amped way up. Apparently, the grilled cheese has a rather simple history. It originated in the 1920s, when inexpensive white bread and American cheese became readily available. It was an affordable, hearty, and tasty meal. Very few people have an aversion to this classic, ooey, gooey, cheesy, kinda salty and buttery, almost perfect...
